Thanks to an extraordinary growing summer and the generosity of our community, Fishline and its clients have been the grateful beneficiaries of a marvelous bounty of fresh produce.
The kids are back in school and settling in, many with new backpacks and school supplies that were collected and handed out in August to children in our community that needed a little extra help.
Your Editor’s Notebook about abusive language was thoughtful and insightful (“Responding to obscenities with words of wisdom,” page A6, Sept. 13 Herald). Sadly, those who behave this way probably don’t read newspapers.
Integrity, quiet, thoughtful leadership and broad business experience followed by team player, focused, listening and excellent critical thinker best describe Bruce.
I wish to encourage all City of Port Orchard residents to cast their vote for Bek Ashby for Port Orchard City Council.
Today, our laws and government agencies use the environmental concerns of the unscrupulous to usurp the liberty and property rights of those who own property.
The author, in her Sept. 6 letter to the editor, goes into detail about class size and teachers deserving higher salaries. It is vague whether she was in the South Kitsap School District system for 24 years or is still in the SKSD system. If she is still in the system, then she can look up some things for herself that are talked about below.
Ms. Stevens began her pursuit for diversity by working at Naval Avenue Early Learning Center.
The letter supporting a city manager vs. mayor form of government written by Jim Colebank sounds to me like sour grapes.
As a resident of Port Orchard, and a proud retired Navy submarine veteran, I would like to write this letter of endorsement for soon-to-be state Sen. Jan Angel.
When Proposition No. 1 passes in November, Port Orchard will become a non-charter code city and it will also transition to a council-city manager form of government.
A big “thank you” from — and a “call to service” on behalf of — the Kingston High School football team. Success to a football team comes only after much hard work and dedication from players, parents, supporters and coaches. The Buccaneer football program has been fortunate to enjoy three consecutive playoff appearances. This success has been in large part due to the efforts of two of our coaches who now are stepping away from the game.
The board and staff of the Village Green Foundation extend heartfelt thanks to all who participated in our fifth annual Pie in the Park fundraiser for the community center to be built at the Village Green.
Glass half full: On July 23, I drove down the long driveway of my new home, stopped at the road, looked both ways, and turned right toward the library. Instantly, I noticed my mailbox missing, as well as that of my neighbor. Having just moved in two months prior, I was furious. Was there no place I could move and feel secure?
The recent editorial commending the Indianola Port Commission’s courageous decision to close the dock is a fascinating study in narrative construction (“Indianola Port Commission made the right decision,” August Kingston Community News).
I want to thank you for your accurate and fair reporting and editorials in the North Kitsap Herald (July 5) and the Kingston Community News (August edition) regarding the difficult decision made by the Port of Indianola commissioners to temporarily close the Indianola dock. Yes, I and the vast majority of Indianola residents are very upset about the closure of our beloved dock. We need to seek a solution together.
How could you possibly understand the moral dilemma the South Kitsap teachers are going through? You don’t get it.
As I was shopping at Central Market the other day, three lovely girls approached me and handed me a long-stemmed red rose, beautifully wrapped, saying they just wanted to take a moment to brighten someone’s day.
Eagles and ospreys both prefer to eat fish, but ospreys may be better at catching them. These agile birds can hover directly overhead and time their swoop with precision. Eagles are bigger and less agile and, because of their size, require more food. On the other hand, they seem to be successful at cooperative hunting or surprise attacks on marine birds.
My grandparents moved to Kitsap County in 2003. Recently, my grandmother fell and shattered her elbow. Not knowing how else I could help, I reached out to the community via several local churches, seeing if anyone could assist in bringing meals to them a couple of days a week until she was healed enough to begin cooking again.
